Everyday Makeup Routine

Everyday Makeup Routine

First things first, I am rubbish at doing make up and cannot do all the nice styles and complex ways most girls can do. I'm also exceptionally lazy when it come to applying make up. But I am very lucky that I don't have to look after my skin very much or have to wear foundation very often. If any make up professionals read this they will probably be appalled at how I do it haha.

Anyway, the first thing I do is put on BB cream on (depending if I need it). The BB cream I am currently using is the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream in the shade light.

It's really good for making your face glow and look alive. Then I use concealer because I always look tired no matter how much sleep I get. I actually use 2; 1 for cover ups on my face and under my eyes, then I use a slightly lighter one for the corners of my eyes which I find brightens up the area around my eyes. The 2 products I use are the Rimmel London Wake Me Up, for general concealer and the Rimmel London Match Perfection in the shade 010 to brighten up my eyes. 

I was going to insert a photo of what I looked like at this stage but me being the idiot I am, accidentally had the wrong setting on the camera so it looks ridiculously airbrushed. 

After this I put on bronzer, mine is just like a normal bronzer in a round pot, although I have no idea where its from and I've had it ages because its huge - haha I'm so helpful! Then I sometimes colour in my eyebrows with the No7 Beautiful Brows pencil, in shade 050. I know this isn't the best one out there but its cheap and works well enough. Then I put on eye shadow which is a peach colour which you can get by most make up brands. 

I then do a thin line of liquid eyeliner on my top eyelid (like everyone does at the moment). I wrote a blog post about the eyeliner I used, click here to have a read. Then I just applied mascara, I am currently using the Maybelline Great Lash in the colour Blackest Black. 

Day to day I don't usually put anything on my lips so this is my finished look - very basic but for lazy people! Hahaa. 

Thanks for reading! :)

Affordable eyeliner | SEVENTEEN MAKE YOUR MARK

Affordable eyeliner | SEVENTEEN MAKE YOUR MARK

This post is for all those people who can't afford to pay out loads of money on make up, but still want to have the look of expensive make up.

The make up brand Seventeen is known for being really cheap, I picked this up from Boots which is a British drugstore and I'll put a link to it at the bottom. For all those out of the UK who are after trying this product, I recommend trying eBay or just search for it on Google. I paid £3.99 for this and I definitely think it is worth way more than that! 

Anyway, this product is definitely one of the best eyeliner pens I've ever used. The pen tip is firm and gets thicker so that it is easy to make your eyes darker if you want it.

Apologies for the bad quality - I need to invest in a camera, but it gives you an idea of what it looks like.  Personally I think the softer brushes are harder to apply and you've got to have a steady hand in order to make it look nice. With this one, it literally takes me about 1 minute to put on and is so easy! Considering I am in no way good at applying make up! 

This eyeliner is also very long lasting and I can happily apply it in the morning and when I return from work it is still as it was when I left, it also doesn't come off when it rains, which is perfect for me because that is the last thing I want!! 

I highly recommend this product as an affordable eyeliner, if anyone knows where else you can buy this please let me know! 

Pick it up on the boots website here.

I would love to know if anyone else has tried this and what they think. If not I think you should try it!

Thanks for reading! :)
